Sulzer reporting in,
I'm currently on Solarius station in Omega-11 after responding to a distress call from a miner. 'Joe Marion' was the call sign of the miner in distress, as he claimed there were two Hessian pirates after him. The entire situation was rather confusing however; the miner also claimed a Corsair distracted the Hessians for him.
I quickly proceeded to the last known location of the supposed threat, where they still sat, idly chatting with the Corsair. Both parties quickly took notice of my presence, but not for long as two Hessian fighters were in a bit of a word-slinging contest with the Corsair vessel which appeared to be a gunboat classed vessel. As tension mounted between the Corsairs and the Hessians, they were about to flee, most likely due to lack of firepower.
I had almost laid back and taken a sigh of relief, at which point the Fraulein Castilla decided to shoot off at the mouth, taunting the Hessians about how she enjoy watching a lone Rheinwehr pilot dispose of them. At this point the Hessians were staring me down, I felt I had to defend the Rheinwehr's honor, and let's not forget even though they had failed, piracy was attempted. I offered the Hessians one last chance to escape their fate, and my offer was met with laughs and mockery. From then on, it was obvious what conclusion this meeting would come to.
Rather than give them time to formulate a plan I quickly moved in to engage, hoping to save myself any further disadvantages. As the engagement went on I noticed the Hessian I neglected to target wasn't repairing his hull from the radiation damage, so I attempted a quick target switch in order to surprise him, successfully I might add. Without any extra pressure on my six the second Hessian was quickly dispatched without much trouble.
As I was lacking firepower or any nearby bomber support, I was fortunate that Fraulein Castilla made a hasty exit after the destruction of both Hessian vessels. I immediately returned to Solarius with the miner unharmed or pirated, where my vessel has nearly finished being repaired for minor damages received.
